Golf Fitness Assessment

How Your Body Affects Your Golf Swing

The golf swing demands mobility, stability, and coordination from multiple body systems working together. Limited hip rotation restricts your turn. Tight thoracic spine costs you rotation and power. Weak core stability causes early extension. These physical limitations directly translate into swing faults.

TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) research shows that 64% of amateur swing faults have a physical cause — not a technical one. Teaching someone with limited hip mobility to rotate more is like teaching someone with a broken arm to throw harder. The body can't do what the brain is asking it to do.

This assessment evaluates five key physical categories that affect the golf swing: hip mobility, thoracic rotation, shoulder mobility, core stability, and general fitness. Each score tells you how that area is likely affecting your game and what exercises can help.
